This is the main reason to celebrate this meeting: to promote proactivity at cities and town halls in creating energetic communities. At the same time, it wants to give an answer and break the legal barriers while creating them. 

The goal of the meeting is to promote the proactivity of the cities and town halls in the B30 area in creating energetic and consummer communities, analysing its legal viability, its executions, and the promotion of shared self-consumption.
